Pink Inspiration
















Thanks to the repair service, my little pink camera is back and fixed! While I thank Hubby for giving me his old chunky one for a while, I attribute my recent lack of blogging inspiration to it, to not having my usual eyes extension handy by my side.

So what happened over the last days?

















I photographed a house that said: red.






















On Saturday, Carolina and I went to see a handmade fair.

But it was too dark to photograph inside ("Magical Christmas Atmosphere").

















And I didn't want to seem like a spy stealing ideas...

















Carolina was a living knitted graffiti. That could have also been an appropriate outfit for the fair we went to on Sunday - St. Martin's Fair at the Oldenburg Waldorf school. I didn't take a single picture - but it was similar to last year (blogged here) and Clara did something with soap, again.

My last year's blog post about the St. Martin Festival at Clara's kindergarten was also better than my picture this year.

















Clara in front of her school.

And finally, taken with my little pink camera back in my hands, last week's good progress on Carolina's birthday present.

















Pink inspiration, you are back.

Work in Progress

















Started working on Carolina`s birthday present this week. Lots of felt, a little sewing, sweet appliqué - three more weeks to the Big Day.

Pink Moment of the Week

... today together with purple.

















Clara came back from a school friend's home with this star she made. The mother of her friend is an avid paper crafter - it seems that Christmas crafting is just round the corner.

Adjust-Tea


















Seriously, coming back and settling in after a vacation is not so easy. All the little messes that were left behind didn't just magically disappear (by forgetting them) while being away and are now topped with loads of laundry.














But when I came back, some pre-holiday-ordered books had also arrived and with them some free tea samples. Teas with comforting names.














Planning new yoga courses.


















Did I ever mention how much I love my job as a Kundalini Yoga teacher with its potential for personal growth, well-being, fullfillment, community, communication and creativity?



Dreaming of new travels.

Mama's Mallorca Moments

Last round of pictures - I found some more on my broken camera.

















Bye, bye holidays! Hello handmade home.

Handmade Mallorca

This vacation was more about family then about crafting, of course. I managed to knit a couple of rows of my lace stola and that was it. And it was OK. But I kept my crafty eyes open, for sure.

















In Palma near the Cathedral I saw a woman selling her crochet creations.

















I found a shop selling buttons (the right side is only buttons) in the Old City of Palma.

















And we had a lot of chances to show off my handmades from home.














 














Plain Pink in Palma.

































 


For the one day, that was cooler - Flagstaff Jacket and Little Butterflies for Carolina.
















I wore my Mama Yoga Tunic (and a sling with baby) with Mama pride.






















And last but not least, the promised photos of the Mallorca Pants.






















With the very practical all-the-beach-and-baby-stuff-fits-in Big Bag.

More Mallorca

A small selection of (mostly) Hubby's 852 and my 225 photos (my camera went kaput) - Hubby is just better at postcard pictures.

Starting with a classic - Palma Cathedral.

Lots of Beaches.





Lots of Bathing.

Somewhere over the rainbow...

... under the palm trees...




















... another rainbow.


Just a Mediterranean cliché.

Can you dig it?


A happy new walker.

Postcard.

Proverbial.

Postcard.

You just see it, don't you?

We enjoyed it - sun, warmth and bathing in late October, while we heard of the first snow in Germany.












Coming to you in my next post: Handmade Mallorca.
